As I reach out to study new angles and perspectives within art, the points and perspectives dividing my health are always of concern. I have given my endocrine system and mental health a point system (artistically), and continue willful attempts at balance between those points, which seems fitting in both worlds... as if I could achieve a parallel success and balance in my body while studying the effects and purposes of each of these points in art.

I am found, in this unfortunate way, upside down and tangledI am alive!With a twitch of a leg and a quiet cryI am experienced! I think,knowing not to move too much.A warm casket of silk will relieve what ailsSpecies expendables, more of me to comeValhalla at last, I say, a breath nearer to death.
And Luck with The Wind and a fall...and I shall be gifted another day to fear.

"Fortunate Fate Runs Home" - Digitally extracted from sketchbook

The cricket in the black and white photograph above gained the assistance of the wind, enough to shake her body loose. She dropped from the large spider web straight to the ground in a thump and took off running.
When examining the ground below the web, a less fortunate cricket was found by my friend Justin, who dropped it directly on my paper to photograph. Sometimes, the wind blows in your favor, sometimes, it does not.
